Sydney is enjoying a bike riding renaissance and to celebrate we're throwing
a week long fiesta dedicated to the humble bike!

For one jam-packed week from Saturday 8 October to Sunday 16 October, Sydney
will vibrate to the sound of pedal-powered fun – in fact; there are so many
bike-themed events they literally spill over each side of Festival week.

The
28th annual Spring Cycle is only a few weeks away....! Whether you
choose the traditional 55km Classic Ride from North Sydney to Olympic
Park, or whether you opt for the more leisurely 16km City Ride from
North Sydney to Pyrmont, make sure you register now for a great day out.
Each ride option finishes with a family festival day, so invite your
friends and family along to celebrate with you in style!

Set
over two days this tour will introduce riders to the little known and
not often explored paths around Sydney that constitute The Sydney Green
Ring as well as some of the most frequently used paths in Sydney.

Day 2 (Sunday 2nd October)

Morning

Meet 9:45am for 10am depart: Wolli Creek station to Summer Hill via Cooks River and GreenWay.

Sunday, September 25, 2011

Second day of the tour was unfortunately rained out. Craig and Gilbert did the right thing and waited for riders at Wolli Creek. Some had already called and cancelled. We can reschedule for another day.

if you haven't already heard the bad news Minister for
Transport Gladys Berejiklian has announced that the GreenWay has been
indefinitely deferred. The full press release can be found here.
Funding for the light rail construction has been maintained although the
completion date has been been pushed back to 2014.

We are bitterly
disappointed as the opportunity for an innovative, integrated solution now seems
to be lost.

The Save the GreenWay Campaign is more important than ever.
So far:

Over 3500 signatures have been collected for the petition (over 400 signed
in one day at the Addison Rd markets)

Volunteer to help. We need help for the stall at Marrickville Festival on 23
October, the GreenWay Rally on 29 October and letterboxing the Save the GreenWay
flyers over the next two weeks. Reply to this e-mail if you would like to help.

The City of Sydney is proudly launching a new initiative to get more people in Sydney riding. It’s called the Sydney Rides Challenge and it’s a fun workplace competition to see which Sydney business or organisation can get the greatest percentage of their staff to ride a bike! It all happens 26 September - 16 October, as part of the Sydney Rides Festival.

To take part, participants need to ride a bike for just 10 minutes or more at anytime, anywhere across the three weeks of the Challenge – it’s that easy. Every new bike rider (plus the person who encourages them to sign up) will receive free Greater Union movie tickets. There are also stacks of great giveaways up for grabs - including bikes, riding gear, iPads and more – plus group prizes and a public awards ceremony to commend the organisations which get the most staff to dust off their old two-wheeler. It’s totally free to take part, and our lunchtime “Try-a-Bike” sessions mean you don’t even need to have your own bike to get involved.

The Challenge is a great way to build a healthy workplace, bring the whole team together for some fun competition and show Sydney that your business is serious about sustainability. Get your workplace on board, win great prizes, feel fantastic and do your bit to make Sydney a more bike-friendly city. Find out more www.sydneyrideschallenge.net

Cycling, design and crochet all come together at this CultureCycle Tour. It lets you view Sydney by bicycle while experiencing cultural attractions and taking part in design events. When you’ve finished cycling, you’ll be learning an age-old skill – crochet – and discovering how it can be used in innovative ways for your everyday life. CultureCycle will have you pedalling, creating and exchanging tips and tricks both on and off the bike.

Sydney Design events will be filmed by Powerhouse Museum staff and the content will be used by the Museum for promotion and this includes uploading into Powerhouse Museum accounts across a variety of third party platforms. If you do not wish to be filmed please inform the photographer/videographer at the time of the event.
